TÉCNICAS EN LA INSTALACIÓN DE TUBERÍAS ENTERRADAS EN ZANJAS CONVENCIONALES
Siempre que el terreno sea uniforme se excavará hasta la línea de la rasante. En el caso de que queden al descubierto piedras, cimentaciones, rocas, etc., es necesario excavar por debajo de la rasante para efectuar un relleno posterior del lecho. La profundidad de esta excavación adicional puede ser de 15 a 30 cm.
Las zanjas pueden abrirse a mano o a máquina, pero en cualquier caso su marcado debe ser lo más perfectamente alineado y con la rasante uniforme.
